RE:  Should XML Professionals Be Programmers?

Those are popular phrases but largely meaningless unless further defined by the processes and kinds and types of data to be integrated.  For example, how much analysis is required of the integrated sources, how are they QA’d and does that occur before or after the XML is created given that XML is the final format for delivering an integrated product?

There's no such thing as an XML professional, any more than you can be a screwdriver professional or a fork-lift truck professional. People who define their abilities by the tools they can use proficiently are not professionals, they are technicians; professionals define their capabilities in terms of the problem space, not the solution space.
